A national publicity campaign launches today to remind contractors and subcontractors in the construction industry that the New CIS will be here in eight weeks' time.
The campaign will be run in the trade, national, regional and radio press. Some of the messages highlighted in the adverts are:
-
You may have already heard that the Construction Industry Scheme is changing this year;
-
From April there will no longer be CIS cards and certificates;
-
Subcontractors working on an existing contract don't need to do anything;
-

Contractors can still get additional advice when they attend the Business Support Team seminars, Employer Talk events and Business Advice Open Days."
